I RAILROAD LEGISLATION.
nOW THE RATE MAKJXO QUES
TIOX STAXPS US FORK
CONGRESS TODAY,
Interstate Commerce Commle.lon
Bill Is Administration Measure-The
Foraker Bill and the tlltlns BUI Al
ternatives Alter Its usual little flurry of busi
ness before Christmas, followed by the
holiday period. Congress is now ready
to settle down to the serious work of
the session. Probable debate looms
up large on the Panama Canal ques
tion, the railroad rate issue and the
tariff. Of these the railroad question
is undoubtedly the most important, at ;
luit it is the newest subject; and
while no legislation may be desired
on the other issues, If a railroad rate
hill la to be passed, as is the an
nounced desire of the leaders and the
President, practically unlimited aeDaie
will ensue, it nas oeen. Biaieu mi
the Hpuse would likely act promptly,
as it did last year, but it is something
of a problem as to what will be the
nrocedure in the Senate. The Inter
state rommerce Commission rate bill
appears to have taken the place of the
Esch-Townsend bin or. lasi seemou
Technically there is to be no Adminls
tration bill, which designation was ac
corded the Esch-Townsend measure,
but with the members of the Inter
state Commerce Commission In hearty
accord with the President, it is un
derstood that the Commission's bill
contains the basis of the Administra
tion's demands.
On the other hand, the Poraker rate
bill and the Elkins bill are the prin
cipal alternative .measures before
Congress. '
The Issues, then, -would bo thus
Joined, and the two houses would
likely struggle with it for a large por
tion of the session, with, the probabil
ity that in the end a compromise
would be reached. This contemplates
some modifications of the President's
measure, which will not necessarily
mean defeat for him or give him cause
for embarrassment It is conceded,
even by those who are avowedly sup
porting President Roosevelt's railroad
rate policy, that he is too stanch a
partisan to embroil his party in dan
gerous strife on the verge of a general
Congressional election that will be
fraught with unusual importance to
other policies which the President
heartily desires Bhould be carried out
as Administration measures backed by
a practically solid Republican support.
Tariff revision, or -readjustment"
is one of those policies which Is said
to be close to the Presidential heart,
and a new and practical assertion of
the Monroe Doctrine, particularly
with relation to such threatening
muddles as that in Santo Domingo, is
said to be another.
Protests From Shippers.
A rather peculiar development of
the railroad question is the action of
great numbers of large shippers who
theoretically are the very men 'ho
should favor stringent rate legislation,
but who are vigorously expressing
themselves as adverse to radical ac
tion. Since Congress met, great Hum
bers of letters and protests have been
received from shippers all over the
country, declaring that they are ad
verse to giving the rate-making power
to the Interstate Commerce commis'
sion. or to any other political tribunal
The protests coming from shippers to
members of Congress are very ef
fective, since the shippers are usually
among the most Influential men in
Concessional districts.
The situation is full of possible
complexities and changes, the only
apparent developments thus far being
a less radical public view of railroad
matters, which is being reflected in
the more conservative attitude on the
part of the thoughtful Members of
Congress and Senators. There seems
to he a erowinz recognition of the
fact that the subject is one full of
intricate and complex conditions
which make final action inadvisable
without a very full understanding of
what the practical effect of any pro
posed legislation would be, not only
upon transportation Interests, but up
on the hundreds of thousands of peo
ple throughout the country who con
stitute the shippers.
(Democrats to Support President.
There has been such a stampede of
Democratic Representatives and Sen
ators to the support of "any rate bill
which the President may want" on
the ground that any rate bill is good
Democratic doctrine, that many of the
President's political . advisers are
warning him that he may be in the
position of having to dodge an alliance
with the Democrats, which Is exactly
what the President does not want.
While it Is generally believed that
the House will promptly pass the
"Administration" bill, yet Speaker
Cannon said not long ago that while
it was impossible to say what Con
gress would do, he felt convinced that
the House would not again pass the
Esch-Townsend bill. Yet the Inter
state Commerce Commission bill is a
much more radical measure and in
every way is more far-reaching.
Whether this is to be made the basis
of a compromise or whether the Pres
ident will insist that a commission
appointed by him shall be invested
with this plenary power of constitu
tional government legislative, Judio
ial and executive is a matter of some
conjecture.
In connection with the foreign and
domestic policies above mentioned, it
is said alike by friends and critics of
the President that he is facing a cru
cial period, not only in his own career,
but also in that of his own party.
Party harmony, to the end of con
tinued party control. Is known to be
quite as inspiring a motive with Pres
ident Roosevelt as are those great
social, political, and Industrial re
forms with which bis fame is linked,
hence, those who believe they best un
derstand the President, temperament
ally, and also appreciate his patriotic
zeal no less than his robust republi
canism, are firm in the conviction that
rather than endanger his party by
an obstinate insistence upon the en
actment of legislation that exactly
embodies his ideas, he will accept the
best compromise of the railroad ques'
tlon, confident that the American peo
ple, who gave him the amazing ma
Jority of 2.500.000 votes last year, will
continue to bold him in esteem that
has been accorded to no man of bis
time.

Social lntrljrue was exhausted in the
efforts to secure invitations to this
never-to-be-forsotten reception.
Ambitious mothers with eligible
daughters were especially eager to
have their fair ones adorn the galaxy
of beautiful women and gallant men.
The beauty and brilliancy of the dip
lomats' gold and Jewelled crand crosses
Is best seen at this reception. Here
are given illustrations of some of the
decorations which delighted the eyes
of President Roosevelt's guests.
The Order of St. Stanislaus.
The newly appointed Russian Am
bassador, Baron Rosen, was decorated
with the famous Polish Order of St
Stanislaus, founded In 1765 in honor of
Poland's patron saint by Stanislaus
Augustus PenlatowskL In 1S15 Em
peror Alexander oonfirmed the order,
and Tsar Nicholas, in 1S3L united It
with the Russian orders. Russian
priests are excluded from the order.
It is one of the few to which a pension
is attached, which does not detract
from its popularity.
The order decorates Rugsla's most
distinguished soldiers and statesmen,
Inquisition snd la conferred for distin
guished civic and rwllclons errloes.
Tho Order of the Crown of Italy,
founded In 1WW by King Victor Em
manuel, ornamented several of the
Latin diplomats. The Italian ambaA
dor. Mayor des Planches, who also
wears It, Is alMnt It Is Italy's most
cherished military decoration. The

"The Order of Glory," founded by
Aouuied uey. or Tunis in 1S37. Is be
stowed by France for distinguished
valor and patriotism. It adorued ser
eral of the attaches. A beautiful relic
of Spanish judicial distinction is seen
in the two raised shields on the cross
representing the scales of Justice and
Spain's coat of arms, surmounted by
her crown. It is worn by that coun
try's great Jurists, one of whom was
present at the diplomatic reception.
I lie orders of Europe, Asia. Africa
and South America date from the
earliest days of knighthood to the

decorations, made chiefly in warla.
Vienna and Berlin, are rarely seen in
this country except at the reception of
tne iTesuent and on occasions when
the diplomatic corps are officially
present at state functions. The aver
age diameter of the grand crosses seen
in this article is three to four inches
and their weight from two to four
ounces. The regal splendor of the dip
lomats, taken as a whole, adorneo with
these brilliant decorations on uniforms
of gold and silver braid and buttons
was beyond words, paling into Ingle
nificance the modest attire of our own
democratic official "full dress" attire.
Paris Statae of Franklin.
The two hundredth anniversary of
the birth of Benjamin Franklin on the
17th of January has brought to light
the regard with which that philosopher
and statesman is esteemed, not only by
Americans, but by foreigners as well,
The memory of Franklin, as first min
Ister of the United States to France, Is
much revered in the capital of that
country, and it Is quite fitting that the
first statue to him in a foreign clime
should be unveiled in Paris.
As early as May 23 last Mr. John II.
Harjes, at present the resident mem
ber In Paris of the firm of Morgan, Har.
Jes tc Co., formulated an offer to Paris
officials of a bronze statue of Franklin.
While it was originally intended that

STATUE OF SACAJAWEA
Story of the Indian Maiden Who Pilot

Woman's Work.
Mrs. Eva Emery Dyo, of Oregon
City, Ore., wrote a book on a very old
subject, but the treated It In another
way. This book, "The Conquest," was
tho history Of the Lewis and Clark ex
pedition, with which every school
child is familiar, but sho brought out
a tnott refreshing Incident showing
the Invaluable services rondorod tho
expedition by one woman.
A number of wutuuu of Portland,
Ore., banded together under tho nanto
of the Woman's Club, folt in duty
bound to honor the memory of that
one woman. Sarajawca. Mrs. Dyo wus
elected presldout of a Sarujuwca
Statuo Association. With woman's wit
they found various methods to acquire
tho necessary $7,000 to erect tho
statuo. Even with all tho money pro
cured tho association found Itself In
a quandary until Mrs. Henry Aairto
Coo, through tho generosity of her
husband, camo to tho rescno with tho
copper for tho casting. And this lat
ter gift was by no means Inconsider
able, for it means nearly ten tous of
pure copper, not to speak of tho ex
penses for smelting and shipping the
ore across tho continent
And after all It was but fitting that
this statuo Bhould be erected, for had It
not been for Sacajawen. the Lewis and

The Persian minister was bedecked
with the grand cross of the Persian
Order of the Sun and Lion founded in
1808 by Shah Feth-AU, and the highly
cherished decoration of that monarch.
It is bestowed for conspicuous military
or civil sevices to Persia. In Its centre
is seen the rising sun and the lion
rampant, Persia's emblem.
As Worn by Weyler.
Spain was represented by ber accom
plished diplomat, Senor Don Luis Pas
tor. In the centre of his order is the
white enamel cross and the once pow
erful crest of Leon and Castile, sur
mounted by the Spanish crown. "Al
merlte inilitar" (For military merit) is
inscribed around the crest. General
Valerauo Weyler, the former "butcher,"
Captain General of Cuba, wore it as
Lis great emblem of valor.
Portugal's Itoyal Military Order of
Christ, founded In 1517 by King Denis
I, was displayed by the Vit-ount de
Alte, the literury Portuguese Lilnlster.
The cross, in a field of white enamel,
is surmounted by the pierced heart
and surrounded by a Jeweled crown of
thorns, The decoration grew out of the
France
come from the citizens of Philadelphia,
this plan made little progress and it
was soon abandoned, so that the statue
is the bounty of this firm.
The statue is a replica of the one
now Btandlng in front of the Philadel
phia post-office, the only difference be
ing in the size of the pedestal support
ing the figure.. Although there was
hut a short time in which to construct
the bronze figure, there was no delay
in casting and forwarding the figure to
Paris In time for the dedication on the
anniversary.
The original Franklin statue in
Philadelphia was a gift to the city by
Justus C. Strawbrldge, at a cost of
$10,000.

Sacajawea. when but thirteen years
old, was stolen from her people tho
Shoehones and became a slavo to the
Dakotas. They treated her well, how
ever, and at the ne of eighteen they
sold her to a French fur-trader, Char-
boneau, who mado her his wife, prem
ising that ho would, In time, tako her
to her own people. Shortly after this
the Lewis and Clark expedition, with
Its motley band, came along. Dial ing
their winter quarters In that Ecrtlon
which is now the southern part of tho
Dakotas. Tho expedition needed a
guide, and Charboncau learning of
this, told his wife that by guiding the
party she would have a chance to find
her own people. Sho offered her serv
ices to the pioneers, which vro ac
cepted: Charboneau was hired a3
cook.
During tho winter, while the party
wa3 making preparations for moving
forward next spring, Sacajawea gavo
birth to a boy baby; yet, not to bo do-
(terred in hnr hope of again being
united to her people, and with her
baby on her back, she led tho party
over the rugged mountains to tho head
waters of tho Columbia.
Before reaching tho end of the Jour
ney tno explorers came across mo
tribo from which tho Western heroine
had been stolen. Hor own people en
deavored to persuade her to remain
with them. Sacajawea had given her
word to guide the men to tho Pacific
Ocean and she was not to be swerved
from keeping her promise. This, Is
the story which Mrs. Dyo has net forth
"Tho Conquest." All throuch tho
book Is full of littlo incidents of tho
bravery of tho woman guide, how she
aved tho band from annihilation at
the bands of an unfriendly Indian
tribe, tho leader of whom was her
brother. Mrs. Dyo brings out Into tho
light tho story of Lewis and Clark
themselves, in which they give Saca
jawea the credit for having saved their
ves and having made possible the
sueccss of their expedition.
And bo this country now gives recog
nition to her services through the
agency of woman. A statuo has been
erected to a woman through the aid
of woman; MIhh Alice Cooper, of Den
ver, was tbe designer; Mrs. Dyo and
her woman friends procured the funds
for the monument and a woman con
tributed the necessary metal.
